Initiative to protect the environment: UK 'right to repair' law, so that electrical equipment can be used for 10 more years, it will protect the environment

 A new law in the UK these days is the subject of discussion, that is the 'right to repair'. This law has come into force in the UK from Thursday. Under this new law, power equipment manufacturers are required to legally provide spare parts of goods to consumers. The purpose of bringing this law is to increase the use of electricity products for 10 years, this will protect the environment.

Actually, like India, repair of appliances like refrigerator, AC, washing machine is not done in Britain. If things go bad there, people throw them away. Because of this electronic waste accumulates more and recycling it is a big challenge. Therefore, the government enacted the 'Right to Repair' Act to extend the period of use of electrical equipment. However, as per the new rules, manufacturers have up to two years to provide spare parts.

On the other hand some people are happy with it, but a section believes that the law made by the government is incomplete. Such people say that spare parts and repair services are very expensive in the country. As such, there is no mention in the law whether spare parts and repair services will be cheaper or not. If not, people would prefer to throw the stuff in the trash. At the same time, Rob Johnson, operator of Repair Business Pacific, said his firm was now hoping to recruit engineers because of the new rules.

Libby Peake, environmental expert, head of resource policy at the Green Alliance, said the new rules are the first step toward giving people long-lasting repairable products. At the same time, according to Elliot of Newton Aycliffe, an electrical goods company, we still do repairs. The oldest machine we repaired was 25 years old.

Men are more comfortable than women when it comes to repairing goods

According to a BBC survey, 22% of Britons want their washing machines to be repaired under the new rules. Of this, men are 32 percent and women 14 percent. But 16% of people find it most uncomfortable to repair a dishwasher. According to the survey, men feel more comfortable giving repair time than women. On the other hand, power equipment manufacturers feel that this law will not make much difference to their sales. Because, some items are yet to be repaired.
